Tonight, Kerry will not call Bush a fascist, but Bush will call Kerry a liberal. However, what is the ultimate prize for Republican Conservatives?
The Supreme Court. They tell us it is all about abortion, but that is a smokescreen. They use abortion to get the votes they need. Moderates would never vote Republican if they knew that the real reason they want the Supreme court is to roll back two hundred years and fifty years of jurispudance.
Until the Fourteenth Ammendment, in 1868, due process only applied on federal property, or in federal courts. During the next hundred years, Provisions from the "Due process" clause of the Fourteenth Amendment would be used to apply the Bill of Rights to individuals in the states.
The true agenda for a conservative court? Overturn the Bill Of Rights in the States.
Mapp v Ohio-Illegal Searches and Seizures -without warrants. (exclusionary rule, no warrant, no evidence)
Gideon V. Wainright-right to counsel.
Miranda v. AZ -Conditions under which confessions may be obtained.
Brown vs. Board of Education, -separate but equal education (Alabama's Jim Crow laws are still on the books to mandate separate schools)
Roe v Wade-right to privacy
Gault v. AZ-due process protections for juveniles
Lets call it what it is.
